Hello Raiders,
We've had quite a few questions surrounding the P-EBT program. The district doesn't have any control over the program. We've been directed to have people call 1.800.678.5465(LINK) or going to the website for Illinois Link Cardholder (www.link.illinois.gov). The link below takes you to an FAQ for additional information. I hope this helps.

Hello Raiders,
Two quick items:
1. Tomorrow, Friday, October 14th is 1/2 day early dismissal.
2. Summer P-EBT benefits for students enrolled in public school will be issued between October 11th and 21st, 2022. Summer 2022 P-EBT issuance will be $391 per eligible student. Because Midwest Central has the Community Eligibility Option all students enrolled last May will receive this benefit. This benefit is not something you or the district has applied for. It is a program we automatically qualify for based upon our participation in the National School Lunch Program. Benefits will be loaded to your existing P-EBT card.
Thank you,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
The Lady Raiders will host Illini Central tonight starting at 6:00 PM.
Good luck ladies!!
8th Graders worked hard in Mrs. Keaschall's class creating their "We Can Do It" Rosie the Riveter murals. This was the perfect activity for setting goals for the quarter. Soon we will see if they reached their goals and set new ones for the next quarter.
This past weekend Ryan T was nominated for and participated in the 10th Annual Jr High Baseball All-State Showcase at the Future Champions Sport Complex in Jacksonville, IL. This showcase gives the top Junior High players in the state an opportunity to showcase their skills against other top players in Illinois!
Ryan competed on the Southwest team after leading the Raiders to a 13-5 finish. Congrats on a great season Ryan!
The Lady Raiders will host Havana tonight starting at 6:00 PM.

A couple of quick reminders for our Raider Community about bus safety.
